An ancient art form dating back to 24,Great Prices from Topps tile.000 BC but still relevant today for everything from space shuttles to toilets, ceramics may be the ticket to acclaim for three budding artists from Kinnelon High School.
Once again, a competitive spirit in KHS teacher Geoff Flash’s class has inspired three students to produce work worthy of competing in the National K-12 Ceramic Exhibition beginning Wednesday in Seattle, Wash.
Flash couldn’t be more proud of the accomplishments of students Samantha Spear (Faceted Tiles), Vanessa Smalley (Peppermint Pot), and Lorin Kavanagh (AM Radio Tea).
"From all the work submitted throughout the country, juror/ceramic artist Louis Katz selected 150 pieces for the exhibition," Flash said.
These three students’ ceramic creations were among them.
The National K-12 Ceramic Exhibition Foundation has run this event for 15 years to recognize the "excellent ceramic work being done in the K-12 in the United States," states the foundation’s website.
One of last year’s winners, Patte Hochkeppel, is attending Alfred University, which he likened to Harvard for clay and this country’s biggest and best place to study mud.
Kavanagh, a junior, is also thinking about art as a college pursuit. Her teapot in the shape of an AM radio grew out of her love for music, she said.What are some types of moulds?
A four-month project, the challenge was making a functioning teapot and getting all the walls of the vessel to stay up, Kavanagh said.
"Sometimes it was hard because the walls would fall down" and have to be reconstructed, she said.
Kavanagh is happy not only to have mastered the challenge, but also to see her teapot in the exhibition, which could result in scholarship money for her college plans.
"It’s great to see something I worked so hard on get recognized," she said.
Flash has taught ceramics to art students and non-art students alike in Kinnelon for roughly five years and appreciates the support of the community to keep the classes running.
Growing students’ work into the caliber needed for this exhibition two years in a row is a feat Flash attributes to "setting the bar high and having the students compete with one another in the classroom," said Flash.
Flash describes ceramics as a creative outlet as well as a means to build problem-solving skills in students.If you have a kidneystone,
"Last year, when the class was a full-year course, we spent a week looking at a ‘Thinking Different’ example. Sometimes it was a video, other times an image,Specialising in injectionmoulding innovations,We offer the best ventilationsystem, or just a question that couldn’t/shouldn’t be answered with the default answer. The final project for Ceramics I was a ‘Thinking Different Teapot,’" he said.
Flash plans to journey to Washington to see the exhibition firsthand and hopes to come home with good news for his students.
